Progress 0.4 0.1 Parameters are -5 to +5

If Ofsted assessed schools on results Belvoirdale would be successful because we are within the acceptable parameters of progress. Parameters are -5 to +5

Key Lines of Enquiry We know that progress measures in maths will be down. (29% did not make expected progress KS2 TA 2017) Writing in KS1 could be stronger Those children exceeding in EYFS or at the end of KS1- do we continue to challenge them in other years? What happens to children’s progress in year 3, 4,5 ? Are disadvantaged children closing the gap?

2017/18 SIP 2017/18 SIP has been based on results, key lines of enquiry and after consultation with staff, children, parents and governors and is still subject to change. Underpinned by three main things: Assessment, Creativity and Parental Engagement

We cannot achieve Anything without YOU!

Dream it, Learn it, Live it.   Children, staff and governors fully subscribe to the school ethos, which is built on the principles of: Dream it, Learn it, Live it.
